WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is closing out a three-week push to highlight big infrastructure investments in local communities, awarding nearly $300 million to help repair or replace more than a dozen bridges. Events in several states Thursday marked the end of the beginning phase of a more expansive White House effort to remind voters of Biden’s accomplishments. During the administration’s “Investing in America” tour, officials held more than 50 events across 25 states at projects benefiting from laws passed during the Democratic president’s first two years in office. Events Thursday alone were for projects in Virginia, Washington, D.C., upstate New York, rural South Carolina and Wisconsin.
